Question

Number of ways of selection of 8 letters from 24 letters of which 8 are a, 8 are b and the rest unlike, is given by

Options:

A . 27

B . 8.28

C . 10.27

D . 8.27

Answer: Option C
:
C
The number of selections = coefficient of

x^{8}

(1 + x + x^{2} + . . . . . . . . . . + x^{8}) (1 + x + x^{2} + . . . . . . . . . + x^{8}) . (1 + x)^{8}

= coefficient of

x^{8}

\frac{(1 - x^{9})^{2}}{(1 - x)^{2}} (1 + x)^{8}

= coefficient of

x^{8}

(1 + x)^{3} (1 - x)^{- 2}

= coefficient of

x^{8}

(^{8} C_{0} +^{8} C_{1} x +^{8} C_{2} x^{2} + . . . . . . . . . . +^{8} C_{8} x^{8}) \times (1 + 2 x + 3 x^{2} + 4 x^{3} + . . . . . . . . . + 9 x^{8} + . . . . . . . . .)

9.^{8} C_{0} + 8.^{8} C_{1} + 7.^{8} C_{2} + . . . . . . . . . . . . . + 1.^{8} C_{8}

C_{0} + 2 C_{1} x +^{3} C_{2} x^{2} + . . . . . .^{9} C_{8} x^{8}

(1 + x)^{8} + 8 x (1 + x)^{7}

Putting x = 1, we get

C_{0} + 2 C_{1} + 3 C_{2} + . . . . . . . . + 9 C_{8}

2^{8} + {8.2}^{7}

2^{7} . (1 + 8)

{10.2}^{7}
